Why do we have creation myths? | The other week, the New Scientist published a lengthy report about an Amazonian tribe called the Piraha. They are, it is believed, unique: they have virtually no notion of time, little oral history, almost no art, and the simplest kinship system known. They are also believed to be the only society with no creation myth. But why are there not more like them? (Julian Baggini, The Guardian, London)
Why we need hell | Eternal misery is a horrifying possibility. But it won't be a fiery cavern where demons poke you with pitchforks. (Frederica Mathewes-Green, Beliefnet)
Today's sermon: Hip-hop, too, can be holy | The rector of a church in the South Bronx is celebrating hip-hop Masses to reach out to young people (The New York Times)
